Cyber-SecurityFor the last ten years
the whole industry has been talking about IP, Web,
interoperability and open systems. Security however, has been mostly left
behind, somewhere in the pre-internet age.

Protocol Positioning from Field to Cloud
Everyone will be forced to open up all network layers, and we will
achieve at the speed of light full-scale interoperability and
manageability. The enterprises will become as a node in the cloud
creating an absolutely new perception of the organization and society
in whole.

As an
experienced senior executive with a more than 20 years in the
communication and building automation business Mr.Kurtalj has always
been trying to establish clear win-win solution for building owners and
Elma Automation Division through application of the open automation
concept. He is one of the pioneers in deploying Open System (LonWorks,
Modbus) automation building infrastructure in Croatia and the
Mediterranean area. He guided his team in successful automation, based
on an open system paradigm, of facilities like data centers with more
than 20 equipment manufacturers spread over various protocols and more
than 1000 devices. His team has experience in automation of buildings
sized up to 300000ft2 with up to 2000 devices, integrated in a single
LonWorks network. Six years ago he initiated development of BrightCore
framework, which was awarded with LonMark's international software
product of the year award last year at LONCOM2009.

The base for
that development and achievement was the new LonWorks software stack,
which could transform any IP device with OS to IP LonWorks device that
could be commissioned in standard LonWorks commissioning tool. The
stack is developed in Elma and currently works on both platforms
Windows and Linux from small DIN rail embedded devices to big 19” rack
servers.

Mr. Kurtalj

Middle East. He was a speaker during Connectivityweek2009, as well as
RealTech Middle East 2010 and many local Croatian conferences.
